Louisville Courier-Journal Items. The average boy of the present vintage firmly believes that whom the gods love die young, and his efforts to alienate from himself the affections of the gods is something marvelous. The manufacture of cigars in New York city pays the Government an annual revenue of $4,000,000. And yet there are people who pretend that they don't know where all the cabbages go to. They were recently working at the ruins of the Rockford, Ill., court-house with a donkey engine. They would have had no use of a donkey engine if at the start they had not employed a donkey architect. The statue of Washington, which Mr. Larkin G. Mead proposes to place upon the Washington monument, is designed to be seventy-five feet high, a mere shell of bronze, which, if adopted, will represent the hollow patriotism of Americans. "Men," says some philosopher, "are frequently like tea—the real strength and goodness are not properly drawn out until they have been in hot water." Very true, and they are quite as often like whisky—the mischief and meanness in them are not drawn out until they are drunk. Diaz, in order to raise some money for the depleted Mexican treasury, has ordered the licensing of gambling hells in the Federal districts of Mexico, the first class to pay $1,500, the second $1,000, and the third $750 per month. The Federal district will be a charming place of residence after a few months. Jacob D. Blondell, an artist, who had suffered from extreme poverty for some time, died recently in New York of starvation. Mr. Blondell was no doubt more proud than wise. It seems incredible that an artist should die of starvation in a city where there were plenty of houses to paint and fences to whitewash. The young people of Owensboro, between the ages of six and twenty, consist of 588 boys and 585 girls. There are three young men there who are anxious to equalize those numbers, and if three eligible young ladies can be found willing to help them, they stand ready to pay transportation and all subsequent expenses. It is said that "the moon has gained about an inch in rapidity of motion within the last hundred years. This is no doubt true, for young men will tell you that when talking at the gate with their sweethearts the moon goes down The Stewart Cathedral. Some additional details of the Stewart Cathedral, at Garden City, which is to be consecrated on Thursday next, have been published. The edifice is in the decorated Gothic of the thirteenth century, though enriched with some of the modern refinements. The plan is cruciform, having tower and spire. In the basement are a chapel, and crypt for Mr. Stewart's body; also the Sunday school rooms. The extreme length of the building is 150 feet; width, including that of the porches, ninety-six feet. The nave is twenty-four feet wide, the side aisles twelve, and the chancel twenty. The tower will be about eighty-one feet high, and the spire about 129 feet more, making the total 195 feet, exclusive of ornamental work at the top. The steps leading to the choir and chancel are of polished granite and marble. The floor alone will cost $20,-000. A statue of Mr. Stewart will occupy a niche on one side of the chancel and another of Mrs. Stewart a niche on the other side. The crypt in the basement is not yet finished. It is intended for the body of Mr. Stewart, which will lie in a sarcophagus on the floor in the centre. Mrs. Stewart will also eventually lie there, side by side with her husband. Neither money, labor, genius, nor time will be spared to make this crypt the most elegant part of the whole building. It will be octagonal in shape, sixteen feet in diameter, with a niche in each of the eight sides, and three granite columns at each angle. The walls and the vaulted groined ceiling will be of white marble. The edifice is said to be unlike any in America and is somewhat suggestive of the great Cathedral in Vienna. Speaking of the cathedral, Hon. I. Bradford Prince, who is one of the trustees of the cathedral, and who is to speak on the behalf of the laity of Long Island at the laying of the corner stone, said Sunday to a New York Times reporter: "The erection and endowment of this cathedral constitutes the most important event in the history of the Episcopal Church since the arrival of the first bishop, nearly a century ago. Its importance as an example of thorough church organization cannot now be calculated. It starts the cathedral system into full life in one diocese at once, instead of having to attain its growth and completeness by slow degrees. I find a good many people who think of a cathedral only as being the bishop's church, as if that were the only difference between it and the parish church. Of course even in that view it is import- Lessons of these: These are the consequences remarkable speech Phillips at the Old South heard Phillips in his inspiration can image brilliant peroration. In all these annals should be set forward we should contemplate the fathers; but the day we should free truth from ment, hated truth from should lift it into their general recogit limit it; priestly memoir interests by hiding it; the selfishness of them it, but the honest secrety forward as Henry Ward world all God has tried believe that the Great Trusted with the conscience.

The young people of Owensboro, between the ages of six and twenty, consist of 588 boys and 585 girls. There are three young men there who are anxious to equalize those numbers, and if three eligible young ladies can be found willing to help them, they stand ready to pay transportation and all subsequent expenses. It is said that "the moon has gained about an inch in rapidity of motion" within the last hundred years. This is no doubt true, for young men will tell you that when talking at the gate with their sweethearts the moon goes down much quicker now than it did when they were boys waiting to rob a watermelon patch in the dark. Some women would rather stand in front of a gate five hours and hold a hose pipe until about thirteen cart-loads of water was wasted upon the street then to take a bucket full of hot water and a stiff brush and scrub a door-step. Some women are so funny about little things like that, but they don't mind it as much as men do, who are driving by at the time. The most treacherous and cruel thing on earth is an empty old gun that has been laid away in a garret or knocked around as a plaything for ten or fifteen years. You may snap it at a stump all day and it will miss fire every time, but the very first time you playfully snap it at your brother or your sister or your sweetheart—bang! and you've shot a hole through somebody. Peter Cooper barely missed becoming that thriftless sort of a fellow they call "a Jack at all trades and good at none." He began life as an apprentice to a coach-maker; then he made machines for shearing cloth; next he became a grocer; then he began the manufacture of glue and isinglass; then he went to making iron and wire; and finally he studied telegraphy. And now he perhaps feels that his life has been almost wasted. If he had stuck to one thing at the start and pushed it along with vim and elan and energy and industry and all that sort of thing, he might to-day have been in comfortable circumstances; as it is eight or ten millions of dollars would probably cover everything he is worth in the world. It is hardly worth while to admonish the young men of the country to take warning from his example. They won't do it. Anecdote of Washington and Hancock. In 1789, Boston was honored with a visit from President Washington. John Hancock, whose name is a most prominent signature to the Declaration of Independence, was then Governor of Massachusetts. He was a man of winning manners and generous hospitality, but his notions of State rights and dignity were such that he thought it would be derogatory for the Governor of a State to pay the first visit even to the President. General Washington was allowed to enter the capital of Massachusetts without the Governor honoring him with a formal welcome. Hancock was, however, in a strait between his notions of gubernatorial dignity and his desire to extend suitable hospitality to Washington. He prepared a diary and an invitation to porter: "The erection and endowment of this cathedral constitutes the most important event in the history of the Episcopal Church since the arrival of the first bishop, nearly a century ago. Its importance as an example of thorough church organization can not now be calculated. It starts the cathedral system into full life in one diocese at once, instead of having to attain its growth and completeness by slow degrees. I find a good many people who think of a cathedral only as being the bishop's church, as if that were the only difference between it and the parish church. Of course even in that view it is important, because it becomes the official center of the diocese, where the episcopal acts of the bishop are performed, where conventions meet, ordinations are held, &;; in short, being to the diocese what the capitol is to the State. But that is a very contracted view of the matter. The true cathedral is the center of church life in its diocese; it is the point from which the energy, the vitality, and the organized effort of the diocese radiate. It is the center of missionary action. From it laborers can be sent into every neglected field in the diocesan vineyard. Instead of a new village of sparse community, being left destitute of church privileges until a sufficient number are associated to organize a parish, build a church, and engage a minister, the cathedral furnishes a crop of priests who can be sent as occasion requires throughout the diocese. Institutions of learning naturally cluster around it. The schools for the young of both sexes can nowhere be so well placed as directly under the eye of the bishop and in the enjoyment of the religious atmosphere of the cathedral. Colleges and theological institutions of the diocese are necessary parts of its machinery, so that each bishop can bestow some personal attention on the young men who are to become active workers under him in the ministry. Of course hospitals, asylums, and benevolent institutions of all kinds form one part of the system. The practical work of a diocese may be summed up in three divisions, missionary, educational, and benevolent, and all these can be far more systematically organized around a cathedral centre than otherwise. The aged clergymen, worn out in parish service, can usefully employ their latter days in the instruction of the young and in religious exercises for the sick. The sisterhoods of devoted women can effectively work in schools and hospitals for the aged and the infant. The institutions around furnish the choristers for the services in the Cathedral Church. Thus all parts of the comprehensive system work together, reciprocally benefiting each other, and forming one complete organization." Mr. Prince spoke highly of the noble benefaction of Mrs. Stewart, and said that no such magnificent undertaking was ever accomplished by any private citizen since the world began.

An impressive illustration of the transmuting power there is in gentle words once occurred to De Quincey.

An impressive illustration of the transmuting power there is in gentle words once occurred to De Quincey. When a lad of seventeen, he was traveling on the outside of a stage coach. By his side was a rough fellow, whom for the first four or five miles, De Quincey annoyed by occasionally falling asleep and lurching against him when the coach rolled to his side. The rough man ejaculated his complaint at the annoyance in surly words. De Quincey gently apologized, explaining that he was ill, and could not afford to take an inside seat, and promising to avoid, if he could, falling asleep again. Upon hearing this explanation, the man’s manner instantly changed. When De Quincey next awoke—for he had again fallen asleep—he found himself lying in the man’s arms, protected from falling off the coach, and treated with the gentleness of a woman. The incident taught De Quincey that no human creature was beyond the mollifying influence of kind words, and that much harshness would be prevented if we better understood each other. Newspaper for the Blind.—A blind man’s newspaper is soon to be published in Germany. It is to be named the Journal Des Avenges, and its editors will be literally, though not really, we trust, “blind leaders of the blind.” It will be printed on type invented by a gentleman named Recordon, which is said to be a very great improvement, both in point of simplicity and cheapness, on previous methods. A principal feature is that each letter has small holes in it, to which the fingers quickly become sensitive, and the position of the holes determines the letters. A Chicago youth went back on his engagement because he overheard his sweetheart say that she had been folded in the arms of Morpheus. Lessons of the Revolution. These are the concluding sentences of the remarkable speech made by Wendell Phillips at the Old South. All who have heard Phillips in his happiest moments of inspiration can imagine the effect of this brilliant peroration, as uttered by him: In all these anniversaries, our faces should be set forward and not backward; we should contemplate, not the glories of the fathers, but the duties of the children; we should free truth from its embarrassment, hated truth from its burdens, we should lift it into the sereneest atmosphere of a general recognition. Timid men limit it, priestly men have to consult their interests by hiding it, interested men serve the selfishness of their gain by grappling it, but the honest servant of truth steps forward as Henry Vane did to tell the world all God has trusted him with, and believe that the Great Teacher may be trusted with the consequences. I can remember the day—even although it is one of the foundations of a religious liberty—I can remember the day, and I am not very old, when the Selectman of a Berkshire town up among the hills, examining the votes cast by the Presidential candidates, found one in that Federal town that was cast for a Democratic President, lifted it up—"Who threw that vote?" No man answered. Flipping it out of the window, he said: "I thought it was a mistake." That was the political tolerance of Massachusetts in its western counties not fifty years ago. The most illustrious living historian, the Nestor of record, left the streets of this very city, because, crowned with all the laurels of literature, he was sent to Coventry by society for the opinions which he professed. That was Boston thirty years ago. Now, friends, sitting here in the seats of Puritans, standing here in the atmosphere of Bunker Hill, the lesson we are to take to heart is to be willing to own every duty, to accept every command, follow truth, no matter how chips fly in our faces. This day was the day of the people. Nathaniel Greene is the best type of Bunker Hill. The news of Lexington came traveling down to Rhode Island. The four companies of Providence asked the Governor's permission to leave the State. That is organization. The news traveled ten miles further to Coventry. It reached Nat. Greene with his company. He started without waiting for the Governor or an order. Without a banner, without any authority, 100 men marched through Providence, men not citizens, men members of no civil organization. They reached Pawtucket on the borders of the State. To Render the Liver Active When that important secretive gland requires arresting, it is only requisite to resort to Hostetler's Stamach Mitten, the national remedy for insufficiency of the billions organ, for constipation, and for dyspepsia, besides those malarious disorders to which torpidity of the liver predisposes a person. For more surely does this celebrated anti-billions coralial accomplish a curative result than mercury or any other mineral drug used to cure liver disorders. In fact, such medications cannot fairly be called remedies, since, although they may have a temporary effect, they eventually fail to influence the system remedially, but instead often do it serious injury. The Mitten, on the contrary, are a specific of the most salutary nature, and are likewise a reliable and agreeable tonic, appetizer and nervine. The Insurance Agency of Hutchinson & Mann. This agency was formed August, 1872, and opened an office at 314 California street, San Francisco, where it is still located. General Hutchinson is a gentleman well and favorably known to most citizens in this city and State, having resided here many years, during which time he has been connected with many of our financial enterprises, as stockholder, President, director, &c. Mr. Mann was, for some years previous to the organization of this agency in 1872, a resident of Salt Lake City, where he was engaged in the underwriting business, under the firm name of H. R. Mann & Co., representing several eastern companies. With the extensive and favorable acquaintance which these gentlemen had, the agencies of insurance companies were easily secured, and accordingly the firm started in August, 1872, with the Girard, of Philadelphia; Home, of Columbus; St. Paul of Minnesota; Amazon, of Cincinnati; and one or two others; and soon after several companies were added to the list, and, with the energy and pluck in the make up of the firm, it was not long before the volume of business increased until the aggregate annual premiums of this agency equalled any on the Coast. The companies represented at this time are: Glirard, of Philadelphia; Home, of Columbus; St. Paul, of St. Paul; New Orleans Insurance Association; People's, of Newark; Revere, of Atlanta; canford; Hartford; The Trade of Camden, New Jersey; and the Union Marine and Fire Insurance Company of Galveston; Texas, with which is combined the Texas Banking and Insurance Company, and the Galveston Insurance Co., with combined assets of nearly seven million dollars. The Girard, of Philadelphia, is an old established institution organized in 1853, with a paid up capital of $300,000. The Assets on the 1st of January, 1877, amounted to a little over $1,100,000, with a surplus as to policy-holders of $931,240. It was opened at a date when there was great popular opposition to fire insurance companies, and notwithstanding this and the great panic of 1857 combined, it bravely held its own till it is now one of the first institutions in America. The St. Paul was organized in 1865,and has a paid up capital of $400,000,with assets of nearly one million dollars,and a surplus as to policy-holders of $571,654. The Home, of Columbus, commenced business in 1864.with a capital stock paid up of The news traveled ten miles further to Coventry. It reached Nat. Greene with his company. He started without waiting for the Governor or an order. Without a banner, without any authority, 100 men marched through Providence, not citizens, men members of no civil organization. They reached Pawtucket, near the borders of the State. Governor Wanton sent them an order from Rhode Island to return; ninety-four men turned their backs. Nat. Greene, two of his brothers and one other man pressed forward to Lexington. That is what has made Bunker Hill. Not colonels, nor captains, nor governors, but Nat. Greene, the man. It was a pretty sight. Sam Adams, the Puritan, clasped hands with Tom Paine, the Deist, and Charles Carroll, the Catholic, held up the hands of Nat. Greene, the Quaker. It was a vast tribe. They little knew how much events were teaching them, and when they came out of the struggle they could hardly count the shackles that had been broken. So I have seen an eagle struggling with meaner birds who settled on his wings and tried to weigh him down from being lifted to his natural atmosphere, and the brave bird struggled upward, tossing one and another from his pinions, but they settled down again and crippled his path. At last, shaking his broad pinions freely, the royal bird circled into the upper air, and as he shook the baser comrades from his wings they fell down, down hundreds of feet, the thin air giving no support to their narrow pinions, and the gallant bird soared and poised himself in the serene atmosphere of his native land. So is truth. Now it holds on its wings an Increase Mather, and now a Governor Wanton of Rhode Island, and now and then it shakes itself free and leaps itself into the ether, where neither doubt nor fear can live, and where selfishness falls like lead to the earth, and the royal truth poises itself forever. The lesson of the American Revolution—Trust God that whatever He teaches you of truth the world is ready to listen to from your lips. Drawings of the Mound-Builders. Not far from Davenport, Ia., have late-ly been discovered, at a depth of five feet from the surface, and covered with a stratum of white-yellow clay, two coal slabs, one of them an inch and a half thick and about one foot square, and the other six inches square, covered on both sides with figures of animals and birds of extinct species, and drawings which have puzzled the members of the Davenport Academy of Science. On one there can be traced some fourteen figures surrounding a fire, hands joined. On one side of the fire, within a circle, is a figure lying on the ground, supposed to be a dead body. On the other side are two similar figures. In the right hand upper side is a circle, about an inch in diameter, said to represent the sun. On the left-hand side on the same line is an Purchasing Agency. Ladies who are desirous of having goods purchased for them in San Francisco can do so by addressing Mrs. W. H.

A gentleman of our acquaintance said a few days since that he had over three hundred thousand dollars which was paying him only two per cent. per annum. "But," said he, "can any one tell me where I can safely invest it at better rates?" The shrinkage in the value of real estate has made capitalists even mistrust and avoid loaning money on mortgages, a kind of security which was formerly considered to be one of the best. The whole nation seems to be taking a rest after the exciting race in which all took part during the war, and this is the only explanation we can give of the present hard times.
